Any tips on playing and reading the greens?
Always stay below the hole and trust your read as the greens roll very true.

Starting on hole #1, are there any tips to get your round off on the right foot?
Try to stay down the left side of the fairway and avoid hitting over the green.

What is your favorite par 5, and how would you recommend playing it?
Hole 18. Recommendation to split the mounds off the tee to hit the fairway, leaving you the opportunity to get to the green in 2. To play it safe 120 yards short of the green to avoid the bunkers and the pond.

What is your favorite par 3, and how would you recommend playing it?
Hole 2.

Hole 2 has a two tier green. When the pin is on the bottom tier, it allows you multiple opportunities to get close to the hole, by landing short and bouncing it on, or flying into the slope behind the hole and spinning it back.

In your opinion, what is the hardest hole and do you have any tips on playing it?
Our hardest and my favorite hole the the par 4 13th. Risk reward off the tee by hitting driver over the water to a narrow fairway between ponds allowing you just a sand wedge to the green. The conservative play to is to lay up with a long iron short of the water and fairway bunkers leaving a mid iron to the green sloping left to right and surrounded with bunkers.

As a golfer plays the final three holes, is there a chance for salvation? (any tips on closing out the round?)
Our last 3 holes consist of a par 3, par 4, and par 5. Each with its own difficulties and rewards.
#16 is a short to mid iron to the largest and flattest green on the course. Birdie can be had here with a well placed shot off the tee.
#17 is a Shortish par 4 but a sharp dogleg left. Try to carry the trees left can leave you in trouble, play it safe to far right will leave you wet. Once safely in the fairway you have a short iron into a long narrow green with chance at birdie.
#18 is a straight away par 5. Find the fairway off the tee and have a chance at going for the green and making birdie. Or lay up to a short iron and have that same chance to birdie with your wedge game. Trouble lurks both right and left as the fairways are lined with tall fescue leaving it hard to find your ball, let alone giving yourself a chance at birdie. Played appropriately and you have 3 good chances at redemption.
